Re: spam

I think Nathan isn't talking about poisoning models (which could be
prevented using reification, or using quads, which include the source of the
statement, and then only trust selected statements), but about the problem
of giving spammers a tool to much easier collect email and postal addresses
from the web, by simply parsing pages instead of scraping and somehow
detecting the information.

Though I can see the danger in that, I personally don't think it is that
much of an issue, since email addresses have always been easy to scrape, and
postal addresses are in most cases easy to collect from e.g. business
directories. Semantic markup makes it easier, but those wanting to collect
this kind of data could and would do that anyway.
